Not yet -- we rode Umstead last week to let all my bruises heal, and my friend is just getting used to clipless so wanted to ride Umstead first too. We are going to try Crabtree this week. Normally we ride Wed., but it looks like rain so may be Thurs. I did ride my own single-track trails tonight (we have 11 acres and DH put in singletrack for us -- actually hiking/walking trails, but have become singletrack for me!!) They are easier than Crabtree because the climbs are more gentle, there are no switchbacks. There are some roots and rocks but not nearly as many as Crabtree, which is why I was so freaked when I got there. I thought "this is beginner?!?!?" I would sure hate to see advanced trails!

I'll let you know how it goes at Crabtree. And yes, I am nervous -- but not so nervous not to try again!
